@Alex, replying to the question posed on Twitter “Very happy to reveal The Last of Us Remastered PS4 bundle. Who could resist?”
My answer is: “Anyone that hasn’t lived of under a rock for the last year. SCEE behaviour regarding customers, ps+ subscribers, ps vita and every other thing is just sicking. No one in it’s right mind will continue to support a company like SCEE unless it’s policies change a lot and for the better.”

BTW, I don’t own and can’t afford an HDMI TV, so it’s very unlikely that I’ll buy a ps4 in the near future.

Well, what rock are you living under? They pretty much only make Hi def TVs with HDMI inlets and the price they come at is getting lower and lower. I’d do yourself a big favour and buy you one if I were you. Sheesh I see SD TVs not wanted left by the side of the road thats how common and cheap HD tvs are now..

Have You ever get any discount, when upgrading Your favourite movie from VHS to DVD or from DVD to Blu-ray? It’s sad truth, but I really suspect that gaming industry will be going exactly the same way as movies.

@Christoff1985, one slight problem with that analogy, in local currency a game is RRP $120 while a Bluray will go for about $30 day of release. investment for the consumer is smaller so it’s not really the same thing even though on the surface it sounds fair enough.

I won’t be paying anywhere near full price for it, because price doesn’t equate to a ‘second viewing’.

But you can sell your old car. You might not get as much but that is because wear and tear is factored in, something completely irrelevant for games.

If you bought the game on a physical disc you can also get a discount, by selling/trading it in.

If they want us to buy products without any physical media to trade in later then its in their own best interests to offer a discount if the game is re-released on a newer console and that console is lacking backwards compatibility. If they don’t we simply will stop buying from PSN. After all, a lot of people paid over the odds for the PSN release in the first place.

I never asked about refunds.i said it would be nice too know how much it will be for us on the uk/eu store.with the scea price getting reduced will we see a similar price or not when ever scee feel we are worthy of being told the price.

@nulenvoid: I absolutely agree with Your point of view. I’ll also never pay the same amount of many for the same game with just upped graphics. I’m not even consider buying, because I prefer playing game once, maybe twice in the row and move on to another game.

But for the greedy corporations this is easy income. Most people will buy because it’s been awarded over 200 GOTY awards (Hooray!), it’s the best game of the last gen and it’s now in Full HD (again Hooray!).

Gamers should really start votting with their wallets. If remakes like this will sale well with the full price, then more projects like this will keep emerging, maybe in 4K, 8K etc. with even higher price tag.

This-if you don’t like it then don’t buy it. Sony (and ND) are not forcing you to buy this game. They also owe you nothing if you purchased the PS3 version/DLC – I own the digital PS3 version and still see the added value in trading up (the season pass content alone makes this almost worth the £30 I have this pre-ordered for)-this is more than just an up-res to 1080p. If that’s all you see then don’t buy the game-you will be disappointed.

Completely agree. If this is censored I won’t touch it. Which is a shame as I want to play the game.. just VERY anti-censorship (and the ethics surrounding it), especially when it’s done to a country that I don’t even live in.

MP is still censored, afaik. If you didn’t buy the game because of that then you are cutting off your nose to spite your face. Same for those who didn’t buy South Park solely because of the cut scenes in the EU version. Think about what you are missing out on by the censorship and weigh up if totally boycotting it is proportional. Again, think about what you lose out on as a gamer, rather than “screw Sony/ND, I want them to lose one sale”.

“Think about what you are missing out on by the censorship and weigh up if totally boycotting it is proportional. Again, think about what you lose out on as a gamer, rather than “screw Sony/ND, I want them to lose one sale”.

But you don’t have to miss out on anything. If it’s censored, buy a used North American copy. You get the full uncensored version and don’t give ND an additional sale.

Also it isn’t just about the censorship, but the utter disrespect shown for the EU by ND. For those who have not followed we have had:

Hiding the fact it was censored.
Completely ignoring it when it was brought up by fans, right up until they had no choice but to comment as people were not letting it go.
Not giving a straight answer as to why (eventually they settled on blame SCEE).
Using uncensored footage to advertise the product to the EU players (go look at the EU mulit-player reveal)
Straight up trolling (Thanks for the support, when someone was upset they had to buy a 2nd copy)

Even now, they refuse to answer.

Really, it’s not hard. Is it needlessly censored again, yes/no. Then let people make up their minds, all this ignoring and hope it goes away, just shows once again how little ND care about their EU fan base.

So it isn’t just about the censorship, but everything surrounding it as well. Do you really want to support a company who thinks so little of the EU market?

“Think about what you are missing out on by the censorship and weigh up if totally boycotting it is proportional. Again, think about what you lose out on as a gamer, rather than “screw Sony/ND, I want them to lose one sale”.”

Censorship of any kind is unacceptable, especially when the game has a PEGI-18 classification, and even more so when it is to please one specific country in the EU, screwing all the others in the process.

Don’t get me wrong, this is one of my, if not my favorite games of all time. I would love to play it again seeing as I skipped the DLC to play it on the inevitable PS4 version but I just can’t help not being blow away by the “remastered” visuals.

Is it just me? I can barely notice the difference, it just seems to look more “illustrated”. Sure it’s crisper and at 60fps but feel a little let down I guess

It will be worth it. I recently heard they achieved 60fps. They say it looks like it was originally made for ps4. Thats quite spectacular for them to achieve high standards, it comes with the changes and the dlc so you can’t really complain for what you get. If you don’t agree then don’t buy it was made mainly for those that didn’t get the chance to play it

I didn’t have a chance to play the ps3 version so seeing it like this on ps4 makes me happy I’m going to get another opportunity.
I don’t have a ps4 yet I’m looking for the right deal.
This bundle is sparking intrigue in me but I really would like to know if the ps4 ultimate bundle that comes with a ps vita is a mith or not?
